Description
Barley yellow dwarf (BYD) infection is common in pasture grasses in temperate regions of the world. It directly reduces the growth of pasture grasses and may predispose them to attack by fungal pathogens. Measures which successfully control BYD in cereals may, with certain reservations, be useful to control the disease in pasture grasses. These include breeding cultivars which are either resistant or tolerant and various strategies to control the aphid vectors.
